I'm so excited. Just got ARC for Gone with a Handsomer Man by West. Cross between Evanovich & Crusie. Funny mystery with naked badminton!

Love the library's Little Light Reading Adult reading program. Tryin to fill my Bingo card before Feb 28! I even read a non-fiction book.

Now reading Juliet by Anne Fortier. It's good. Just wish I were home reading but there are no snow days for librarians.

Just 100 more pages to go in Clancy's Dead or Alive. It's 3 days overdue and I'm finishing it tonight or else!

[Maggie Preiss @megareader]

Gotta go home now and read Sandford's Bad Blood. It's due tomorrow. Can I pull an all nighter?

Hello again tweeters...I guess I'm back. I feel like the world is spinning faster and faster. Can we put on the brakes?

[Maggie Preiss @megareader]

Reading & liking Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest but all those lonnnnng Swedish names, streets & cities are unpronounceable.

[Maggie Preiss @megareader]

I'm so guilty..3 days off and all I do is read, read, read. Well, there was laundry, shopping & cooking too.

Kathi Appelt's book Keeper is magical. It's about finding love & family & discovering it in unexpected places. What does make a family?

[Maggie Preiss @megareader]

Finished Island Beneath the Sea by Allende. Horrifying life of a slave in Haiti and New Orleans but also uplifting story of love & strength

[Maggie Preiss @megareader]

Don't you think the boss would understand if I took a few minutes to finish my book? Time for lunch & reading Girl Who Chased the Moon.

[Maggie Preiss @megareader]

Have an advance reading copy of Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Bender. Fascinating concept of baking our emotions into food!

[Maggie Preiss @megareader]

Just finished Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Hoffman. Love those women of the South. They've got character & they are characters!

[Maggie Preiss @megareader]

Is it too much of a leap to go from Crichton's Pirate Latitudes to Wolf Hall by Mantel? I've felt my head spinning lately so maybe it fits.

[Maggie Preiss @megareader]

Homemade veggie soup, beer bread, and Kisser by Stuart Woods for dinner. A quick read since I have 3 meatier books in the 2 be read stack.

Confession: I read Cinderella Deal by Crusie in a day. http://bit.ly/9t2dBW She's always good for a story to make the real world go away.

[Maggie Preiss @megareader]

Listening to Jim Dale read Stoneheart by Fletcher. Sort of a horror novel for upper elementary & middle school. http://bit.ly/aU8h9U

I just read Peter Rabbit online at http://www.wegivebooks.org/. Why read? Penguin & Pearson will donate a book to the charity I selected.
